Citation Analysis of Turkish Otorhinolaryngology Publications and Comparison with Five Countries.

Objective: In this cross-sectional study, it was aimed to analyse quantitatively citations of articles written by Turkish authors in the publications of Turkish otorhinolaryngologists. For comparison, the same investigation was performed for publications from five countries from different regions of the world.

Methods: References of publications belonging to the 2015 issues of four selected Turkey-based Otorhinolaryngology (ORL) journals were reviewed. The number and properties of references of articles published by Turkish authors in ORL journals belonging to the Science Citation Index (SCI) were investigated. Finally, a similar investigation was performed for ORL journals published in the five selected countries.

Results: In the 2015 issues of the ORL Forum Electronic Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, The Turkish Journal of Ear Nose and Throat, Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery, and the Turkish Archives of Otorhinolaryngology; the number of references was 2708 and the number of references in which the first author was Turkish was 460; 149 of these were from Turkish journals. During the same period, 85 publications in which the first author was Turkish were found in the ORL journals belonging to SCI. In these publications, 271 of 2252 references belonged to Turkish authors and 18 of them were included in Turkey-based journals. When the references of articles published in five ORL journals of the National ORL Societies in Brazil, India, Iran, Italy, and Japan were investigated, the most national citations were observed in publications in Brazil, Italy, and Japan.

Conclusion: In this cross-sectional study, citations from Turkey and other countries of the world were quantitatively evaluated in publications made by Turkish authors in the Turkey-based and SCI ORL journals. To our knowledge, our study is the first that is based on this subject. Increasing the number of similar studies might provide important contributions to Turkish ORL publishing.
